CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-A special from Mar.
quette, Mich, says: Judge O. B. Grant
was asked II he credited the stories told
about the brothels in the lumber and
mining campo in tho Northern Peninsula.
He answered that he had sentenced the

quity carried on in them," said the Judge,
y traced many crimes directly to these
places, and determined to Bee what foyce
there was in the law, and to sweep them
out OF my circuit. In Menomines; eleven
persons from one den were brought bs.
fore me-two men and nine wo.
men. Minnie Pine, whoss story has
in part become public, was one Of
the lot, and told me her history. Her
iasner was Tor twenty years the Chief OF
Police in Elmira, N. Y, and was very
estlmable man, as have since ascertained.
l wrote to her uncle aud received in reply
long letter detailing the history OF The
girl and corroboratiug her story in eysry
respect, her uncle having 5000 invested
ior her. She was inveigled into this den,
where the oMcers found her, from Chi.
eago: She tried to get word to her uncle,
but her; letters were destroyed. She fin.
ally got word to an officer, or pretended
ofticer, Of Florence county, Wis, who
came to tho den and said he could do moth.
ing for her. She afterwards jumped from
a window in the night. and took the road
toward Commonwealth, but wss pursued
by the keeper, overtaSen, broupht back
and beaten. ' The keeper finally promised
to take her and other girl back to Ohicapo
but took then. to Marietta, Wis, and sold
them to the keeper of house there for
$3.50 apiece. 5'.s, ,1.5 10y
"Such, in brief, was her story, and I
have no doubt Of i!s truth. Several OF the
other girls had similar experiences to re-
late: Alter correspondence with her
uucie's attorney and after seeing her in
the Detroit House Of Correction, I per-
euaded her. uncle to take her home, and
then pet!tioned the Govcyuor uyseif for
her pardon, which be granted, to take et-

conid be removed on account OF sicknees."
Judge Grant said he lad deult with
forty or more cases, and that the situation

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
TIE RAILROAD QUESTION.


EIko, and some from other portions OF
the county, assembled at the Court.
house last night to hear MIR. Buffers
side of the railroad question. The gen.
tteman entered into IL lengthy discus.
sim Of the subject, and pointed out the
great advantages which would accrue to
Elko county by the building of the E
Il 1. G. Railway, and no doubt con-
WINGED many Of mis- hearers of the prae-
ticnblity of the project.
We are told that the railroad can be
huilt without costing Elko county n
county will be largely increased, that
the State will receive it's proportion of
the revenues OF the Toad and that the
bonds will be paid off in 90 years; after
which the whole amount of taxes levied
TN the road, aside from the State tax
will go into the county treasury. This
proposition looks very favorable, pro-
vided it carried out, and MIR. Baker
tells how it Can be done. He says re-
duce the ate of inter, st and nssess the
road for sufficient amount to accom-
pliSh the result. Easy enough said,
but impossible to accomplish. Let us
see: What will it cost TO bnild this
rond? Say $4,000 mile. Can you
tnA n rond for more than it cost? The
taxes OH the rond at $12, 900 mile will
not pay the interest on the bonds mt 3
per cent. But Mr.. Baker SAYS ere
duce the rate of interest and increase
the INST ssment." Suppose you Ilnce
the rate of interest at l per cent.
per annum and raise the ms
sessnent to $4,000 per mile. l.
that II feasible proposition? Any man
with thiMbie full of business sense
will at once shy "No." But suppose
it were possible, even ON that basis
would the debt I've discouraged in 20
years2 Figure on it ind zee. Will any
capitalist with good common sense in
vest his coin i'll bonds that pay but 1
p cent. per nnnum and tnlte the prob
able xes f IL railroad for securty?
In any argument if your premises are
false your conclusions must he errcuc.
ous, says Mr.. Baker; and the gentle
nun knows as we'll ns any one that his
argument is based on false premises
and TINT his conclusions IRE founded
upon an impossibility, but he frankly
tells us that his only Object in favoring
this scheme is to make some money out
OF it, (we all understood that PROPOSE
tion,) and the people should not OF jet
to his efforts TO raise II stake if it did
not cost them cent. Wa have DO OBJ
iections to his making NIL the money he
can in II Legitimate transaction, but we
mistake the temperament Of the Tux
Payers Of Elko county il they will l. nd
their countenance to au impuss ible
proposition for the especial benefit Of
the promoters of the EIko and Idaho
Central Railway.
